Who is Sara Netanyahu? All on Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, her scandals and their children

These assertions were further exacerbated by a March 12 press conference video, in which an AI-generated image appeared to depict Benjamin with six fingers on his right hand.

Fact-checkers from PolitiFact have refuted the viral allegations against Benjamin, verifying that he possesses only five fingers and that the perceived anomaly was merely an optical illusion resulting from camera angles, hand movement, and lighting. In the midst of this peculiar controversy surrounding the Israeli Prime Minister, attention shifted to his wife, Sara Netanyahu, and their children.

Grok, X’s AI chatbot, verified the information regarding six fingers, stating that “No, Netanyahu has five fingers on each hand like most people. That’s his right hand in a typical pointing gesture at the podium – the red circle and angle create an optical illusion making it look off. Just a still from the press conference video.”

“Netanyahu is alive; death rumors from Iranian media and social posts have been debunked by Snopes, Times of Israel, and others as unverified misinformation. Rely on official verified sources,” Grok said in response to other post on X.

“There is a powerful and political junta at the centers of power in the country, but fortunately for us there is a large, wise and sympathetic public – which is actually the majority of the public in the State of Israel. Anyone who tries to turn the word ‘Bibist’ into a derogatory term is wrong – someone who is a Bibist is someone who is proud of it. Most people, if they experienced even a small part of what we have been experiencing for years, I don’t know if they would stand it. We know who we are, and the love of the majority of the people gives us the strength to continue.” the translation of the quote into English read.

She was born in November 1958 in Kiryat Tiv’on, making her 67 years old as of March 2026. Sara is the daughter of Shmuel Ben-Artzi, a prominent Israeli educator.

Before her marriage to Benjamin, Sara served as a flight attendant for the Israeli airline El Al.

At that time, Benjamin held the position of Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel. The couple experienced a connection during this period and expressed a desire to know more about one another. Benjamin nostalgically remembered that one of their first outings took place at an Indian restaurant named Vina Pashkarna (currently Tandoori) in Tel Aviv, where they were seated at Table No. 8. From that moment on, they continued to meet whenever they could find some free time amidst their busy careers.

After being in a relationship for approximately two years, Sara and Benjamin made the decision to elevate their partnership. In 1991, they walked down the aisle and exchanged their vows in the presence of friends, family, and colleagues. It is worth noting that this marked Benjamin’s third marriage and Sara’s second.

In 2010, Sara ignited yet another controversy when a domestic worker filed a lawsuit against her, claiming that she had withheld wages, imposed unfair working conditions, and subjected her to verbal mistreatment.

In a different case, another domestic worker and a security guard brought a lawsuit against Sara in March 2014, alleging that she had mistreated her.

In a landmark ruling in 2016, the Jerusalem Labor Court sided with the plaintiff, Meni Naftali, and mandated that Sara pay damages amounting to NIS 170,000. Naftali accused her of fostering a hostile work environment.
